MANUELA
With her debut single ‘Te Vas’ set for release late July, Manuela alongside her co-writter Luan have composed a dramatic and catchy reggae ton tune you’ll love. ‘Te Vas’ was co-written and produced by the talented Luan (Chris Bates, Julia Walker). The track was mixed by Scott Seabright (Six60, Broods, Mumford and Sons) and mixed by Primal Mastering.
Praised for her powerhouse vocals, Colombian-Kiwi singer-songwriter Manuela blends Spanish and English in her music to showcase elements from both sides of her cultural identity. Her music fuses the sounds of reggaeton, hip hop and RnB with the passion and drama of Latin American artists Mon Laferte and Shakira. Bringing a truely honest and heart-felt performance that leaves audiences wanting more.
“What a great voice she can belt out. Meaning that with great respect because at times I thought I was listening to the Latin Janis Joplin. Colombian, truth told.” - Rev Orange Peel (13th Floor)
“Manuela is full of passion and heart, taking us with her on the journey’ - Kev Rowland (MusicNet)
